To those who have done KSC-35/75 cable upgrades, what cable did you use and where did you make the physical connection for the cable.

I have one 25' done in similar way, just that I used also the Neutrik 1/4, casue i need it in a 90 degree angle cause it is permanent, and it is pretty transparent, as far as I can tell nothing is missing...

Cable talk broadcast 3 cable kit available on ebay. Easy to put together, looks ok but (as with all cables) I can't hear any difference over standard good quality OFC cable. £20 for the kit.

I was thinking of just braiding my own. Is that much more difficult for a mini-to-rca?

Nope, just continue to braid until a few inches from the end of the cable and switch out the litz into two twisted pairs.
